  1. Well, Hot Toys set an awfully high bar to clear...
  2. No, dude, it's not like that at all. Filoni elevated Darth Maul to a principal character by the end of Clone Wars, and bent over backwards to squeeze him into Rebels as well. Which is why Favreau and Filoni knew to leave well enough alone. Oh sure, 'cause it makes a lot more sense to keep bringing back the guy who got cut in half. 🙄 Apparently you've skipped all the good Star Wars content over the last two decades. Did you see The Last Jedi? Solo: A Star Wars Story? The Book of Boba Fett, perhaps? Sucker. 😝
  3. All due credit to Gareth Edwards. Dude's managed to make the only good Star Wars film AND the only good Godzilla movie in the last four decades.
  4. No, this is Hasbro's Vintage Collection, not their Solo line. 😝 Edit: Oh, crap.
  5. Wow, they really nailed the Josh Brolin likeness. 😊
  6. Congrats! Looks like you're having fun with it. I don't recognize the Marines. Are they video game characters...?
  7. No, you're not... but I've learned not to criticize what others praise on these forums.
  8. It's amazing that 1:12 scale figures are starting to look as good as 1:6 scale figures did a decade ago...! Unfortunately, they cost as much, too. "Legendary Assassin?" Is this an unlicensed third-party figure or something? They don't have the rights to use the name John Wick...?
  9. Who are these characters? What scale are these figures? What company is producing them? How can they be ordered? When will they be released? How will they be distributed? A little context would be appreciated.
  10. The hip joints and the internal structure of the abdomen look identical to the previous 'Lloyds, with some minor modification evident in the hands and the pistols. It's at least 90% new parts, though. That's a considerable understatement. 🤩
  11. Very stable, easy to balance. A stand is only necessary for dynamic poses (which is what it's designed for). The instructions include a detailed marking guide, and even explains what the markings represent (in Japanese, at least). I was surprised to see the Roman alphabet represented...! You'd have to drill holes if you wanted to mount those parts. I'm more likely to use them on my ol' Bandai Regults, I think. Yes, the plastic is a clean, bright white... but being a model kit, you're expected to paint it. 😝 Depends on what you're displaying them with! 😅 Zentraedi scale is a very subjective thing.
  12. And it's only gonna get worse, as we transition to a 4K standard. They only rendered the graphics at 1080p resolution. 🙄 Frankly, though, it didn't look great even twenty years ago. It's always been painfully obvious how limited ILM's motion capture software was; they clearly could only track subjects in constant motion, leading to a clone army that simply can't stand still. The Clone Troopers are constantly shifting their weight and fidgeting like they've gotta pee or something. Of course, it's an extremely minor nitpick compared to the quality of the acting, the dialogue, the editing, the attempts at humour, and every other failing of the prequels...
  13. Considerably... and much better balance. Oh, and it parks, too. 😊
  14. Yes, it seems there are seams. Clear parts for the win! Some objective comparisons: The eternal scale question:
  15. The gunpod may be 1:24 scale, but the rest of the Battloid obviously isn't. It looks about half that, at best. 🙄 Hell, the TomyTec Valkyries have better paint app's and sharper detail than your statue... and they're 1:144 scale! 😅
  16. Oh man, they so badly need to produce a ver.2 GP01... I mean, every single angle on the MG was wrong.
  17. He might've looked more convincing if they hadn't gone overboard with the guyliner... Tom Hanks is the bigger miscasting, though. Was there no actor out there who "sounds" like a Dutchman that they could have hired? 🙄 I was confused by the vintage music. Why use a cover of "Unchained Melody" for the trailer, as opposed to... any original Elvis hit single? I love me some Baz as well, but this looks like a bigger misfire than Bohemian Rhapsody.
  18. Very well-stated. Turning James T. Kirk into Peter Quill pretty much doomed the "Kelvin" films from the outset.
